Brazil to play SJP...?

Yes indeed, the mighty Brazil, who won the 1994 World Cup are set to visit St. James Park in an unusual friendly next month... however they won't be coming to the home of the 'Toon Army', instead, they're going to St. James Park.... in Exeter! The game forms part of the non-league club's centenary celebrations and is a repeat of a game in 1914 when Exeter City became the first professional side in the world to play Brazil, pulling off a 3-3 draw in Rio. Dammit!
